In one of Brooklyn’s leafiest neighborhoods, a one-bedroom apartment benefits from taking up the first floor of a Ditmas Park West Edwardian, with copious polished details of the period, outdoor space fore and aft, and an abundance of nooks and crannies that includes a mudroom.

The standalone house with porch and garage at 512 Westminster Road was divided into a duplex over a simplex back in 1937, the certificate of occupancy shows. The property has been in the same hands since at least the 1970s, and the unit appears well kept, with a number of updates.

An entry hall leads to a parlor with columns, paneling, woodwork, parquet and a wood mantel with original tile and insert. Pocket doors open to the dining room beyond, now used as a bedroom, where there is a bay window with stained glass, shoulder-high paneling and another wood mantel with original tile.

The petite bath, carved out the former butler’s pantry, is en suite to the bedroom and has a jacuzzi tub/shower and a window.

The kitchen is large, with plenty of space for dining, a dishwasher and wood floors. Although there aren’t a ton of cupboards, there is a pantry and other storage.

A door leads to a mudroom with a stacked washer/dryer and space for shelving and other storage. Altogether, the apartment has six closets, including the mudroom and two other walk-in ones. A private deck off the mudroom has steps down to the grassy shared backyard.

You can see more details in a video, and an open house is scheduled for Sunday, October 16 from 4 to 5 p.m.
